“Very well worth reading on many accounts these essays are. But
perhaps most of all as showing how a highly cultivated modern man and
acute dialectician may still represent and embody an antiquated theory
of politics.” Montgomery Schuyler.

* =Salter, Emma Gurney.= Franciscan legends in Italian art: pictures in Italian churches and galleries. *$1.50. Dutton.

Although this volume “consists largely of catalogues of pictures,
frescoes, friezes, stained glass groups, and so forth, it is not
designed chiefly as a historical study of the works of art with which
it deals; its main interest is for the Franciscan student.... The
representations of Francis, his followers and indeed all things
Franciscan, and the influence of the Saint in early Italian art
generally, are followed up and chronicled with a pertinacity and
thoroughness which only the special student can appreciate.”—Acad.

=Salter, William.= Iowa: The first free state in the Louisiana purchase. **$1.20. McClurg.

This is not the story of Iowa as a state, but an account of the
incidents in American history which concern it, from 1673 to 1846,
from its discovery to its admission as a state into the Union. Its
varied history, under France, under Spain, in the Louisiana purchase,
and the territories of Louisiana, Missouri, Michigan, Wisconsin, and
at last Iowa is followed. The book is illustrated with portraits and

* =Saltus, Edgar Evertson.= Perfume of Eros; a Fifth avenue incident. †$1.25. Wessels.

“The perfume of Eros” was first published serially under the title,
“The yellow fay.” It deals with some unlovely members of New York’s
inner circle. Loftus, handsome and wealthy, picks up a tailor’s pretty
little daughter and after solemnly promising to marry her establishes
her in handsome apartments, takes her abroad and finally deserts her
for the wife of his closest friend. The murder of Loftus on the eve of
this elopement brings about a trial in which the characters who have
thus far been good altho weak, perjure themselves and thereby smooth
things over for the happiness of two of the weakest and wealthiest.

satire.”

“The author begins by describing the present-day anarchistic
philosophy and its developments, and then goes on to tell how its
propagation is carried on in Paris by speaking, by conferences, by the
anarchist press, and by acts—the last including insurrectionists’
outbreaks and individual crimes.”—Outlook.

=Sanborn, Mary Farley.= Lynette and the congressman. (†)$1.50. Little.

The setting of Miss Sanborn’s story is chiefly out-of-door Washington,
where on long tramps and in a certain Madame de Chatres’ rose garden,
the friendship between a charmingly naïve Southern girl and a Michigan
congressman grows apace. There is somewhat of politics, there are
slight peeps into social Washington, but the main story interest is
restricted to the natural, spontaneous comradeship between two direct
and unassuming people.

=Sandars, Mary F.= Life of Honore de Balzac. **$3 Dodd.

The author has given the romantic career of a man of genius, whose
loves and debts occupied much of his time, but who in his passion for
labor, wrote his seventy-nine novels, accomplished a colossal amount
of journalism and wrote several plays. Having achieved all this, he
died in debt, unappreciated, and broken in hope, and afterwards came
fame.

“An account of the events of Balzac’s career accurate in matters of
fact, and written in a light, agreeable manner. It is not really
worthy of the occasion.”

— =Ath.= 1905, 1: 493. Ap. 15. 760w.

romancer.”

“Miss Sandars explicitly disclaims all critical intentions. But her
attitude toward her author implies a judgment. And that judgment, it

seriously.”

importance to our knowledge of the subject. It is essentially a volume
of literary ‘small talk’ ... all very diverting, to be sure, but
hardly constituting a biography.”

+ =Outlook.= 79: 856. Ap. 1, ‘05. 170w.

“Miss Sandars has succeeded, where many have failed, in writing a

therein she is wise, for such few specimens of criticism as she does
present show neither sympathy nor understanding. Miss Sandars’s sketch
is not without either coherence or verisimilitude.”

“To those who feel the need of some art expression, but who cannot

bookbinding, simple pottery, basketry, and beadwork. The book is aided
in its helpfulness to the beginner by the author’s working drawings,

home reading and play-mates. There are chapters upon When children
marry: The grandmother: Motherhood in fiction: Motherhood in the

helpful in the volume and it is written in a spirit which approaches
motherhood reverently, and makes of it a thing both noble and ideal.

physics. “The first two-thirds of the volume are elementary; that is,
they explain only polarization, interference, diffraction, the theory
of optical instruments, and the peculiarities of the different
crystalline media—phenomena that result simply from light’s consisting
of transverse vibrations. The remaining third of the book contains the
deeper theory of light, and is written on a novel plan, the idea being
to direct students to the original memoirs without repeating their
contents.” (Nation.)

of hope, when Royalists still stood in arms in the three kingdoms,
when the intervention of Europe was confidently expected. But they
were also years of hope deferred, years that saw the growth of
divisions and dissensions in the Royalist ranks, the steady decay of
morals among men capable of a splendid devotion, but not proof against
all the misery it involved. And to many came the bitterest pang of all
in the knowledge that these years had witnessed also the dishonor of
their king.”

company and the organization of a new company to take over the
franchise of the old one, pay its debts, and complete the canal on the

=Seaman, Louis L.= From Tokio through Manchuria with the Japanese. **$1.50. Appleton.

The immediate purpose of Dr Seaman’s journey to the front with the
Japanese army was that of inspecting the sanitary and medical work
among them. His experiences and adventures incident to that
undertaking are most interestingly narrated in the present volume. His
chronicles thrill with the spirit of Banzai Nippon, the shout of
patriotism in the “Land of the rising sun.” He shows the course of law
and order that transforms a Japanese citizen into a patriot and
warrior, and points to the masterly preparation for war, based on
scientific principles, which Japan has made a national business. The
book is valuable for its generous amount of general information.
